I'll Be There Lyrics

Artist: Phil Ochs
Album: A Toast to Those Who Are Gone

When the river of rebellion overflows, I'll be thereWhen the seed of discontent plants and grows, I'll be thereWatching for the sun through the dark and rainy stormSearching for the keys to the dungeons old and wornLet me tell you, I'll be there

When the shadow of the tyrant falls and sweeps across the landWhen men would steal from others with paper in their handWhen people search for answers and the answers never comeWhen their troubles would be over if they thought and fought as oneLet me tell you, I'll be there

Whispering of yesterday has grown into a roarWinds of freedom blowing out of every distant shoreWhen the time is ready and the call is loud and clearLet me tell you, I'll be there

When the thunder of opression roars and crackles, I'll be thereWhen those who would be free are wearing shackles, I'll be thereFor the day is gonna come when they'll throw away their chainsLift their heads and raise their arms for the struggle that remainsAnd let me tell you, I'll be there

Whispering of yesterday has turned into a roarWinds of freedom blowing out of every distant shoreWhen the time is ready and the call is loud and clearLet me tell you, I'll be there

When the thunder of opression roars and crackles, I'll be thereWhen those who would be free are wearing shackles, I'll be thereFor the day is gonna come when they'll throw away their chainsLift their heads and raise their arms for the struggle that remainsAnd let me tell youLet me tell youLet me tell youLet me tell you, I'll be there
